so last week i ripped all the speakers out and installed..
in the doors 5.25" JBL component set (modified stock enclosure)
custom pods 6.5" JL audio ( in custom fiberglass pods)

same here, I chose that location for the tweets when I got my system put together, but I suck at fiberglass and molding. I'd pay a good $40-$50 for some.

there are a decent amount of cars that have tweeter pods like that...honda civics have pods like that on the a pillar I think, but it might be down in the corner like those ones. Just a little modification and they'll fit.

Wow, that setup looks amazing. I wanna re-do my audio setup as soon as I'm done with everything else, but that looks great. What seats are those?

thanks for the compliment..
the seats are sprints solid back...real one for the driver(me) fakie for the wife:biglaugh:
i'm also doing a single 10" enclosure between the strut towers, molded to fit the side panels and plexiglassed in to make it look like the sub is floating.
hopefully it'll work out:icon_bigg
it wont be done for a while though. i don't even have a sub or amp yet

it's hard to say
the ones i have i wouldn't make for less than $200
it takes alot of time to get it to look nice and smooth, and built solid
i've also made them to hold a component set back there:icon_evil

Major props on that setup. I love the speaker pods, but am not digging the fact that the gloss doesn't match the interior color. Im looking into fiberglassing my whole hatch from the targa holders forward (to the backs of the front seats) and doing a fiberglass amp rack under the targa :evil2:

i should match the interior colour but..
it was 2am when they were ready for paint, and all i had was tremclad gloss black:icon_bigg so i brushed the sh$t out of it.
i think they look ok for now.
sounds like your set-up is going to be insane:evil2: GL!
